What are Israeli borders and why does the state leave its exact frontiers unclear?
“This anomaly is due to the inability and refusal of Zionism to define its territorial limits,”who believes:“Israel is the only modern state that has avoided defining its territorial limits.”
“Having survived seven decades and emerged as a major military power in the Middle East, a technological hub and economic power, the continuing vagueness about the state’s borders is more than a relic of the past. Instead, it appears to be a strategic choice to maximise territorial gains,” Kumaraswamy said.
During World War One, Britain sought Arab support against the Ottoman Empire in exchange for allowing them to have their own respective independent states as well as a Jewish homeland. At the end of the war, Israel gained 78 percent of historic Palestine as Jordan took over the West Bank and Egypt invaded the Gaza Strip. More than 700,000 Palestinians were forced to leave their homes, fleeing to other parts of the Middle East.
At the end of the war, 300,000 more Palestinians left their homes in West Bank as 100,000 Syrians fled the Golan Heights. The disastrous defeats of Arab armies by Israelis convinced many Palestinians to join the Palestinian Liberation Organisation , which became particularly popular after the 1967 war across Palestine and the larger Middle East.
